THE Masonic Fraternity of Missouri
is agitated over an edict by Grand Mas
ter Hunt directing the enforcement of a
resolution adopted by the Grand Lodge
in 1882, declaring 'that the business of
saloon-keeping is a Masonic ofiense, and
those engaged in it are liable to be dealt
with for unmasonic conduct" 1t APP
pears that he has ordered their suspen-
sion-whieh could only have been done
by the Lodges after due investigation.
1t is stated that nearly one hundred
members of the fraternity in st. Louis
are liquor dealers, and that "the great
body of Masons throughout the State
are of the opinion that the edict and
the resolution on which it is based are
unmasonic-liquor dealing being legal
occupation" 1t appears that they ex-
pressed themselves otherwise, through
their representatives, in 1882.

Feed is abundant, and stock Is going onto
grass in good health. Winter wheat ID in
good condition, though the acreage il
not large as in former years, and it needs
rain in some localities. An increasing
acreage Of oats is sown, a great many
fields are nowgresn,, and the corn area
will greatly exceed that Of. any former
year. Tame grasses have done well gen.

There will be built within this state
about 100 miles of railroad. +. This
means the distributing among the people,
farmers. laborers, merchants, and the va
rious industries of the state, some eight
or nine millions of dollars, which is all
brought into the state from the east,
principally New York and Massachu-
sets. Is it any wonder that Kansas
booms?
In the older states where railroads are
being built, large part of the money is
furnished by the citizens of the state
itself, but here it is all brought in from
the east, SO that yearly we have an adj
ded wealth in hard cash of from seven to
nine millions of dollars-Topeka Capital.
